Cicho Sgarra and Collo Francisco is a 1622 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two strange winged men stomping through shallow water. They look angry, with big horns and wild hair. Behind them, a crowd of tiny people watches from the shore. The names under them—*Cicho Sgarra* and *Collo Francisco*—sound like mythical figures. The artist drew them with sharp, scratchy lines. Want to see more like this? Check out etching as a technique.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
